A wealth of learning and erudition clearly lies behind this novel of indigenous Guatemalan life. Sometimes, perhaps at the outset, that knowledge is imparted a bit heavily. But only to establish the bona fides. Thereafter it is worn lightly and we can enter into Amparo’s hopes and fears and, yes, anguish, as she chooses between friends and family, finding kind mentorship along the way.

The result is a fascinating glimpse of a culture in rapid transition.
